//Elastic Transactions//​ are a complementary alternative to traditional transactions,​ particularly appealing when implementing search structures. Both forms of transactions can safely be combined within the same application. ​ε-STM implementation is faster than a state-of-the-art software ​transactional ​memory in various workloads ​and with a speedup of 36% on average. It also presents a speedup over lock-based solutions of 89% on average.

//Elastic Transactions//​ are a complementary alternative to traditional transactions,​ particularly appealing when implementing search structures. Both forms of transactions can safely be combined within the same application. ​Elastic transactions are a variant ​of the transactional ​model. Upon conflict detection, an elastic transaction might drop what it did so far within a separate transaction that immediately commits, ​and initiate ​a new transaction which might itself be elastic.
